Too many diets focus on negative words: don’t, avoid, lose, etc.  Why not focus on the positive this fall by adding one new healthy food each week?  With fall, many of us want to eat less salads and more warm foods, so try beta carotene-rich treats like acorn squash and butternut squash.  No idea how to make veggies taste good?  Why not treat yourself to a healthy cookbook or two?  Kris Carr, actress, bestselling author, and cancer survivor, has teamed up with Whole Foods chef Chad Sarno on Crazy Sexy Kitchen, which you can pre-order now at Amazon or any major bookstore.  All Kris’ books give a nice blend of cooked and raw foods, with both classic dishes and food allergy-friendly recipes.  Want a cookbook geared towards men?  Try The Engine 2 Diet, by firefighter and elite triathlete Rip Esselstyn.
